I want to create a new account.
5 years ago
Quick edit for clarification: No I'm not planning on deleting anything! I think. It's complicated and reading some of the comments is already making me second guess whether I want to do this or not. >~< But should I create a new account, nothing will be deleted. I'll likely delete my folders and move it all into scraps, but it will stay up.
Alternate title for this journal was gonna be "A fitting end to this year," but I think that one hits the nail on the head a bit more. Yeah no mincing words this time, I'll try to keep it quick. It feels like all I have done from the onset of this year is whine and complain about things in one journal after another after another, even when I say they'll get better, thanks for throwing yet ANOTHER mental roadblock my way world, so I guess its only fitting this is how I wanna close out the year.
There are a bunch of reasons I want to do this, I could list them off like I always do but to cut right to the chase: the main one is just the name and face. It's been what I can only describe as a slow death for naughty CAT nick. It was a slow death for my sona before that too, but I still tried to connect the two at heart. And I remember promising when I first changed my fursona to a dragon last year that I wouldn't do this. I've seen other people change their sona and completely move shop because they just don't feel that's them anymore, and I didn't want to do that... but now I think I get it. I've been trying for months to come up with a way that I can still make the two mesh and work in my head and I can't settle on it and I cant help it. Having an entire gallery of art and stories built around a character I simply do not have a connection to anymore is... off-putting. I don't want to associate with him, I don't want my characters to associate with him. I need my new name to show, I need a fresh start.
So the way I view it I have one of three choices. A: delete all the art in my gallery I don't want up anymore. B: REDO all the art of catnick but with myself as a dragon and recanonize everything, (not that that wouldn't be the first time I've attempted that but KILL ME NOW >'<) C: Move accounts. Start Fresh. Start anew. C seems like the best and simplest choice to me right now.
I want people to know this isn't 100% settled at the moment. This is the warning bell. This is me just typing off my head after months of thinking about where I want to take my work now and the past 3 days of this constantly on my mind... Right now I'm about 90/10 in the start fresh camp, and people would need to talk me out of it as opposed to into it. I'm already making plans to stick everything on here into a scraps folder and prepare for what's ahead.
I'm sorry if this is not what people want to hear from me, around christmas time most of all. I'm hoping if I do go forward with this you'll understand, back me, and still follow me.
Either I'll flip on this again before the months out, or come 2021 this place will be dead and I'll be elsewhere. We'll have to see.

...I mean, I did like Cat Nick too ._.
My only complaint is moving everythingto scraps. It's nice being able to view things in folders, even if I know nothing else is going to be added.
I know that feeling. Wish I had advice for you, but we're stuck on the same boat with that problem.
